9781907091018: The Key to Dream Analysis

Synopsis

A complete handbook of dreams and dreamwork, which includes every known type of dream and the knowledge needed to analyse and interpret them. There have been many books on the subject of dream analysis, most of them repeating what has been written many times before, and many of them of somewhat dubious value. Ray Douglas presents the subject from a previously unknown perspective: from the point of view of the inner feelings, also known as the higher emotional centre, which, he claims, is the actual source of dream imagery. He has been recording and interpreting dreams for many years, and has experienced for himself all the types of dream mentioned in this book. This is no small claim, for The Key to Dream Analysis describes every known type of dream, as well as every piece of information that may be useful in understanding our dreams. Familiar dream symbols so beloved by authors of traditional dream-books are not neglected here, but they are analysed in depth, and the whole dreaming process is explained with clarity. As Sigmund Freud pointed out, The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind. It pays to take our dream lives seriously. Apart from numerous dream symbols with their true meanings, the book contains information on: Acting out the dream, Active and passive roles, Adlerian dreams, Analysing dreams, Animal-nature dreams, Archetypes, Association of ideas, Balancing dreams , Biblical dreams, Children's dreams , Collective intelligence, Collective unconscious mind, Compensatory dreams, Conscientious dreams , Controlling dreams, Cycle of creation in dreams, Cycle of the dreaming self , Dawn dreams , Development of dreams, Diagrams of the dreaming self, Disaster dreams, Disgusting dreams, Disorientated dreams , Dozing dreams, Drawing a dream, Dream diagrams, Ego overruled in a dream , Enacting dreams in company , Encouraging dreams, Endo-psychic censor, Evening dreams, Everyday dreams, Family-intuitive dreams Free association, Freudian dreams , Frightening dreams Future coming to awareness, Great dreams, Group dream-therapy, Healing dreams, Holistic understanding , Impersonal dreams , Incubating dreams, Inner feelings, Jekyll and Hyde dreams, Jungian dreams, Lucid dreams, Mandala diagrams, Meditation, Morality, Mythmaking dreams, Nightmares, Non-self dreams, Paralysis in sleep, Persona, Personal dreams, Personal unconscious mind Plant-nature dreams, Plant-nature dreams Predictive dreams, Purifying dreams, Purifying dreams, Questionnaire, Rapid eye movement, Re-entering a dream, Recording dreams, Recurrent dreams, Regression, Reincarnation dreams, Relationship dreams, Repression dreams, Selection of images, Self, Sexual dreams, Shadow, Sharing of dreams, Spherical symbols of the self, Submission of will, Symbolic nature of dreams, Symbols and their origin, Theme mood, Trigger events, Trivial dreams, Veridical dreams, Volitional dreams, Waking dreams, Waking inspirations, Warning dreams, White lie dreams, Wish-fulfilment dreams, Interpreting dreams for others, Inter-reactive dreams, World dream, Worried dreams.

À propos de l?auteur

Ray Douglas has been studying and interpreting dreams for the past fifty years, and he advises everyone who can do so to take an active interest in their own dream life. They will discover that their dreams become more and more meaningful as they begin to understand them better. People who are spiritually orientated will find the most amazing insights through their studies, and in equal measure their lives will be directed heavenwards. Those who are not so inclined will discover the truth of Sigmund Freud's assertion, that The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind, and discover, as Freud's associate Carl Gustav Jung discovered, that this road leads to what he called psychological individuation the process of becoming a uniquely whole, integrated person. Douglas was the first to formulate what he sees as the progressive development of dreams throughout the period of sleep, from the fragmented, chaotic dozing dreams of evening, to the completed, highly significant dreams that arrive just before dawn. He was also the first to relate the substance of our dreams with the world of nature and the natural cycle of creation, 'the great world dream' or the secret life of Gaia our world seen as a vast, living, self-regulating organism.
